Moorland is a symmetrical triangular shaped shawl. Starting with a garter tab cast on, it is worked top down using increases along the center and both sides of the shawl.

Sizes:
The pattern is written for 2 sizes worked over 7 (large) and 5 (medium) main body repeats, however you can easily modify the pattern and work more or less repeats to achieve your desired measurements.

Yarn:
Light grey sample (Large) - Nutiden from Höner och Eir, col. Vagen Hem, held double, 350 grams
Green sample (Medium) - Nutiden from Höner och Eir, col. Grodd, held double, 250 grams

Yarn substitutions:
Non-superwash, wooly yarn of approx. worsted weight is recommended for the pattern. If you decide to make the larger version, I would also recommend using lighter yarns (unspun, woolen spun, yarns with addition of mohair or brushed alpaca) to ensure that your shawl is not too heavy

Yardage:
4 plates of Nutiden for larger shawl (7 main body repeats)
3 plates of Nutiden for medium shawl (5 main body repeats)
OR
Worsted weight yarn approx. 950 meters / 1039 yards for large size and 650 meters / 711 yards for medium size
